Nobody Rides for Free Mark Woerpel/Rick Medlocke How long have I been walkin' this road These feelings are getting old I need a different pace Move on to another place But be careful who you borrow from, Nobody rides for free I'm livin' my dream Nobody rides for free You have to pay to see If you wanna catch a ride with me. Where I'm comin' from And where I'm headed to Are questions I can't answer for you Well I don't feel like talkin' And it damn sure beats walkin' Let me take you for a ride You can pay another time. But the storm keeps a comin' Just gotta get away Better watch where your runnin' Now all I need is a little more time When things get crazy You gotta cross that line But the storm keeps a comin' Just gotta get away Better watch where your runnin' 'Cause nobody rides for free. |

Tupelo Honey Van Morrison) You can take all the tea in china Put it in a big brown bag for me Sail right around the seven oceans Drop it straight into the deep blue sea She’s as sweet as tupelo honey She’s an angel of the first degree She’s as sweet as tupelo honey Just like honey from the bee You can’t stop us on the road to freedom You can’t keep us ‘cause our eyes can see Men with insight, men in granite Knights in armor bent on chivalry She’s as sweet as tupelo honey She’s an angel of the first degree She’s as sweet as tupelo honey Just like honey from the bee You can’t stop us on the road to freedom You can’t stop us ‘cause our eyes can see Men with insight, men in granite Knights in armor intent on chivalry She’s as sweet as tupelo honey She’s an angel of the first degree She’s as sweet as tupelo honey Just like honey from the bee You know she’s alright You know she’s alright with me She’s alright, she’s alright (she’s an angel) You can take all the tea in china Put it in a big brown bag for me Sail it right around the seven oceans Drop it smack dab in the middle of the deep blue sea Because she’s as sweet as tupelo honey She’s an angel of the first degree She’s as sweet as tupelo honey Just like honey from the bee She’s as sweet as tupelo honey She’s an angel of the first degree She’s as sweet as tupelo honey Just like the honey, baby, from the bee She’s my baby, you know she’s alright ... There’s a rose pressed inside a bible That she reads on the balcony She’s sweet in slumber and I’ve got her number For the beginning of the century. I’ll tell a tale of old manhattan Adirondack bus to go Standing waiting on my number And my number’s gonna show. I heard a tale of old manhattan I’ve never been there but I want to go Standing waiting on my number And my number’s gonna show. |

Rainbow Benny Rappa/Rick Medlocke Well I left my home at the north end of Florida Headed out for southern California Lookin' for some fun like any other And the open skies Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana Even past right through Texarkana Lord I know that time is truly wastin' Not getting any younger I'm runnin' round here, and I'm looking for a pot of gold They tell me that it sits at the end of an old rainbow See the movie star up in the spotlight. She's growing old And they tell me that it sits at the end of an old rainbow Well I fell in love with a girl out in Texas Then her daddy had me arrested All I did was stop for some dancin', and a couple of beers Then they ran my butt on into Arizona Heard I was wanted out in Oklahoma Made me feel like I was an outlaw It might've been my long hair I'm runnin' round here, I'm looking for that pot of gold And they tell me that it sits at the end of an old rainbow See the guitar man up in the spotlight, he's growing old They tell me that it sits at the end of an old rainbow And they left me that it sits at the end of an old rainbow Now I'm sittin' out here I'm lonely in Nebraska How the hell'd I get to Alaska Would of thought by now I'd learn my lesson But you can never tell I'm runnin' round here, still looking for a pot of gold And they tell me that it sits at the end of an old rainbow I see the mileage on my face, am I growing old And they tell me that it sits at the end of an old rainbow |

It's All Over Now Benny Rappa/Mark Woerpel/Rick Medlocke) We should have but we didn't We would of if we could But it just didn't happen And you never understood Can't blame a man for tryin' Tryin' to make it last Now you stand here cryin' Over memories of the past I'm not looking to hurt you So I'll just say good-bye It's all over now Well sometimes it happens Turns out that way To many miles between us With nothing left to say Oh I'll never get over This look in your eyes Doing all our best to figure out That it's too late now baby 'Cause it's all over now This broken heart of mine is no surprise And isn't that what life is all about Doing all our best to figure out But it's too late now baby 'Cause it's all over now Too late to turn back baby |

Road’s my Middle Name Bonnie Raitt I told you once the day we met I wouldn't be your queen Your little darlin', sweet coquette Just what my routine You've been around enough to know There's really no one else When I hear that siren call, baby I just can't help myself I gotta go I hope you'll understand I love you so Want you to be my man I hear it call Sounds so sweet and plain I gotta go, baby Because the road's my middle name Well, it's hard enough to love someone When they're right close to home Don't you think I know it's hard, honey To squeeze the sugar from the phone Guess the road is in my blood 'Cause I'm my daddy's kid Just have to learn how to let me go Just like my momma did I gotta go I hope you'll understand Yeah, I love you so Want you to be my man I hear it call, baby Sounds so sweet and plain I gotta go Because the road's my middle name Hear it call And it sounds so sweet and plain I gotta go 'Cause the road is my middle name I gotta go 'Cause the road my middle name Ooh, I gotta go, darlin' Because the road is my middle name |

Hang Time Benny Rappa/Rick Medlocke South of the border, down Mississippi way Born on the delta, where the blues men play Out on the road, just doin' my time When I come home, I wanna be with my kind Mamma calls me baby, daddy says son That ain't no name for a man on the run Stick to your guns, and you surely win Open up your mouth, and let the moonshine in Hang time, down in the neighborhood Well it's hang time, I'm hangin' with my family and friends Well grab my little honey for a little doe-se-doe Cut myself a slice O'rug, on the dance floor Come on everybody, lets have a good time Pack up all your troubles, and leave 'em behind Winter, spring, summer, on into the fall, Any type of weather, it don't matter at all Down on the street corners, you will find Where everybody's hangin', hangin' Now it might be sentimental, but I don't care I know it's something that we all share Mamma's good cookin' makes you feel at home, You give the dog a bone Now out in the driveway, I hear the engines roar My road dog buddy's, say it's time for some more When it's all over, and my work is through Pack it up honey, I'm comin' home to you Cause it's hanging time, down in my neighborhood Lord it's hang time, I'm hangin' with my family and friends Lord it's hang time, down in my neighborhood Yes it's hanging time I'm hangin' with my family and friends Oh yeah, I am hanging Well I'm hanging I am hanging, hangin' with my family and friends |

Tonight Benny Rappa/Rick Medlocke Moon is bright And the stars my guiding light Tonight Would you believe I'm getting closer mile by mile Tonight But I'll be O.K. As long as I know you have stayed Tonight In the skies I see you face on every cloud I'm hypnotized with the thought of you tonight Lonely nights away But I know I'm in your heart Tonight And you should know That I've missed you from the start Oh tonight It's your touch that I miss and the goodnight kiss I had to call you see to let you know what you mean to me So turn off the light And you know I'll be alright Tonight And sleep peacefully When you wake you know you'll see Me tonight Tonight, tonight Tonight, tonight |

After the Reign Benny Rappa/Mark Woerpel/Rick Medlocke Redman stands alone with his pride Freeman knows no bounds Tired of runnin', he's not gonna hide Now he stands his ground To take a man's home, there's no pity One man's land for another man's city Take it back, to the place that I love Take it back, to the big sky's above Take it back, on the wings of a dove After the reign I can tell from the look on his face There's no justice for all They come with their plan, and they deal another hand Still they take it all When it comes to your own, you're blinded by shame To take his land, is the name of the game After the reign, now who's to blame Dreams have been washed away After the reign, all though the years After the reign, gone are the fears After the reign, there's no more tears After the reign |
